I’ve had the Zoom H4n Pro for 3 years now. I haven’t used it, because I couldn’t understand the literature that came with it, and the videos that I found were much to technical. Thanks for the simple breakdown on how to use this machine.

[@mutangpadan5311]

I’ve had mine for more the 10 years now. Still don’t know how to use it. Want to use it for my eSLR camera.

Excellent, the best instructions, with the best energy in this tutorial of the H-4N. I love that little recorder, and keep loving it more when I discover new ideas and modes on the H4 N. It is a great tool for a composer, songwriter, musician, or speaker. Mike is on the top to keep your attention to learn the H4. He is the best !!

[@AndiPrill]

Great Video! Thank you very much. Is there a way to do a multitrack recording of at least two voices at the same time? So every voice gets an own track while using two microphones/headsets. For example an interview or a podcast. Thanks in advance.

[@zeeshanadil]

Teaching with fun.

[@sepheschoenfeld-tm3bw]

awesome vid. Totally subscribable! I am not sure I understand how you record / stop / change the track / record again and the recording head goes back to the same spot. I guess I'll need to play with it and try making some MTR recordings.

I would like more videos about the H4n pro because the things I still have doubts about even with the instruction manual, my doubts are wav and mp3 audio frequency and placing musical instruments volume and frequency for them, thank you

@@mikesytes Your Demo was the Best I’ve ever seen. I’m a novice. I’m torn between the Zoom H4n Pro and the Zoom R4? The one I want would be the one that’s the easiest to figure out and use. I value your opinion. Many thanks, Phil

[@bkimmiec]

😂 you’re a joy!!

[@PFDish]

Your demo is Outstanding. Best on the web. Can I beg you with a question? I’ve got a Boss Acoustic Singer Live acoustic amp. It’s got two XLR line outs. Can I run the line out and plug it directly into my Zoom without overloading the Zoom? I want to do this because my Amp has built in Harmony and a looper. I want to play with the harmonies and looper and have it record at the same time. Thank you. Phil

[@michaelpapamihalis9713]

Great stuff Mike. Gonna subscribe; you're a great teacher, which ain't so easy. I am going crazy trying to figure out how to use a existing audio mp3 file as a track (in MTR or 4CH mode). Nobody has covered that in their videos. I'm sure it's doable. Is it using the Karoake tool? HELP

[@michaelpapamihalis9713]

@@mikesytes update: found a video that covered it. You can only move WAV files into MTR folders. No mp3''s.

[@oliverthompson2762]

Just bought one of these! Waiting for it to be delivered - quick q, can you export the multiple tracks you recorded as separate wavs so that you can fine tune them in logic or garageband? Thanks

[@reogh]

Thanks, Mike. Just what I needed. Now, how do I load a pre-recorded song file in one of the track? Thank you in advance.

[@reogh]

@@mikesytes Thanks, I gotta try that. I like tracking vocals in the car (non running car) actually and this handy recorder allows me to plug in an SM58 to track my vocals there:-)

Hiya! Thanks for the video! Is there a way to record all XLR input mics AND ZOOM mics onto one file right away?

Great tutorial! Is it possible to record from two different inputs at the same time? For example, I'd like to point the built in mic at my guitar and sing into an XLR mic, and record both inputs as 2 separate tracks.

I have another question.. I need to get a new laptop to connect the zoom to for moving files and editing... is there any you can suggest. Thanks so much great videos !!!

Can I connect synthesiser And use zoom as an audio interface four recordings tones from instrument in DAW?)

[@meshmut]

What I hoped this video would confirm is if its possible to enabled MTR and have Track1 & Track2 set to both record say XLR1 at different levels as a means for safety track recording.

[@meshmut]

@@mikesytes may be I used the wrong wordings, I mean is it possible to record one input into separate tracks with different levels. i.e I have have one XLR feed and I want to record that one XLR input into two tracks with different recording levels

When recording a podcast with a guest on a phone is there a way to improve the sound quality of the phone voice?

[@angelayoung2103]

Hi and thank you so much for this video! Please can you help with one really frustrating problem? I am trying to record a phone call on the H4n using channel 2 for the phone (via a lightning cable) and channel 1 for the XLR mic. However, when I select inputs 1 and 2, I can hear and see the phone recording, but can only hear and monitor the mic, when I select the mic input, which of course stops me recording the phone. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

[@angelportal5378]

Is there a way to record in the MTR MODE my guitar on one track and my voice in the built in microphone on a another track simultaineously ?

[@soundhealingbygene]

Omg thanks your funny too

[@mikesytes]

Thank for that one!

[@Darkslide99]

This was great. I followed along but noticed that i could only play back track 1 and 2 at the same time or 3 and 4. I could not play back all 4 at the same time. Did i do something wrong? Thanks so much. This is awesome.

[@Darkslide99]

@@mikesytes so you record track 1, 2, and 3 separately and then playback and record on track 4?

[@datboyfilmz1826]

I'm trying to use the line input to record , can't figure that out is it possible u make a simple tutorial for that feature

[@michaelpapamihalis9713]

How's it going Mike. I found out how to get the file into MTR mode (It can only be a WAV file!). I can't figure out how to record it to a Track or even monitor it while recording or at all. I was also puzzled by the fact that when you record in 4CH mode, you end up with a separate File (TRACK?) for each channel you recorded. How do you listen to that back? (The more I learn on this thing the more questions I have!) I should mention that I'm using the H4n (not the PRO).

[@jello-tarzan]

I read many comments saying that the noise floor is a big problem with this one. Better go with the zoom R4? Anyone has experience with both?

[@lukaANDkrosty]

Isn't there away to record all channels at the same time and have them be saved in separate files?

[@felixpereirafilms]

Is it good for recording singing?

[@curtliljedahl2497]

Question! Is it possible to have 2 mics and 2 tracks for my wife and I yet still connect a phone to record a guest?

[@MountTaborBaptist]

awesome info! Question...let's say that i have my 4 tracks recorded in MTR mode. How do I finalize them onto one file that i can upload or burn to a cd? is there a way to master on this device or do i need to export all of the files into my computer and mix them down and master them?

[@EremEdition]

I'm still learning it but I think itd be easier to master on your computer but you can click bounce on the right of the screen and that creates a file you can send. I think you can go into each channel and send those out individually. I think to edit them individually you have to transfer the file to a different mode in order to get to play mode and create different settings for each channel (I THINK). I'm still figuring it out but it seems like recording a new file each time instead of overwriting is a nightmare. I have a ton of questions myself honestly

[@mokachin0]

is it possible to record simultaneously few track on MTR mode?

[@SoulofPimpC]

I just got this joint and I'm trying to test the MTR but I'm not getting a playback. Any idea to what I might be doing wrong?

[@KTHKUHNKK]

Hey my friend how are you ? Underneath the battery cover is a little switch that goes from stamina mode to the other mode. I find it certain adjustments cannot be made in stamina mode. Such as setting your sampling rate for your mp3 files or whatever. Do kind of know what I'm talking about ? For example I don't think certain things can be set in stamina mode is that true ? Keith
